“THE SPB.MAI?INK EYE” TO-XltillT. To-night (Saturday) at the Primes: Ihcatre, .Mel,can’s present a great underwater attraction “The Submarine K.ve.” Some years ago, in a dingy little attic, tucked away in the heart «l foggy l.omlon, a young invenioi conceived the idea of explorinc the bed of the ocean from the decks of ships. Hut after perfecting his instrument he found no market for it. Everybody admired it and congratulated him on his remarkable invention, hut had no use for it. Then, just as he considered lilc a hopeless failure, he overheard a story by an old stilt in the next apartment. It was how, years and years ago fi... had found a chest of gold on a little island in the Pacific. While conveying it aboard a storm arose, sunk the boat, and for all the speaker knew it was still lying under the ocean, waiting for an energetic man to find it. Hardly had the last words fallen from the sailor’s month when the young inventor burst into the room with his invention. The result was that a steam yacht was fitted out, not forgetting the “submarine eye,” the name ol the wonderful instrument, and

hound for tlu> sunken treasure. This is just the commencement of one of the mightiest adventures ever told hv the screen. There’s thrilling adventure after adventure above and below the surface, eranuned tight into , ight cyclonic reels. So don't miss ‘'The Submarine Kve” at the Princess Theatre to-night.
